A federal judge on Saturday denied a request by the the Department of Justice to halt the sale and distribution of a forthcoming memo by former Trump national security advisor John Bolton.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth wrote that the government's request to block distribution of "The Room Where it Happened," a damning memoir of Bolton's White House tenure, would be impossible to enforce because thousands of copies of the book have already been printed and shipped to distributors.

Lamberth also faulted Bolton for not waiting until he had final, written authorization before telling his publisher to proceed with printing the book. "While Bolton's unilateral conduct raises grave national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy," Lamberth wrote.

A copy of "The Room Where It Happened," by former national security adviser John Bolton is staged by a television crew at the White House on Thursday, June 18, 2020 in Washington, DC."Defendant Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States. He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil liability. But these facts do not control the motion before the Court," Lamberth wrote.

Not even going to buy it.. waste of time and money

Trump's Wall of Lawyers doesn't seem to be working very well, of late.

lol .. I wonder how many people realize this is all smoke and mirrors How many fools will rush out to buy fiction ... lol it’s all about the $$$$$$$. suckers

Odds are not in his favor. He may have won this round to profit himself, but he certainly harmed the United States by refusing to testify during the impeachment trial when it was appropriate for him to tell the truth, not just make money off Trump.

Nice!

Maybe judge should’ve ordered Trump to read it and write an essay! Trump-Trump-Trump-climb into your backpack and roll down a hill.

I bought the book.

John Bolton should 'claw back' tell-all book on Trump, government lawyer argues to judgeThe purpose of the hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington was to consider the Justice Department's last-minute lawsuit seeking to block the release of Bolton's damning White House memoir, 'The Room Where it Happened.' I'm not one for reading these kiss and tell all books but I am rather interested in Boltons book TheJusticeDept Like I said, it has nothing to do with any legal stance. realDonaldTrump is hurt hurt over the contents, and it’s sickening to watch our government taking Bolton to court over Trump having his feelings hurt. Nonsense

Rucker: Trump says John Bolton is a liar, but offers no proof.PhilipRucker: 'Despite the president calling Bolton a liar, there has been no effort so far by the White House to ligate or rather to fact check any of the specific allegations ...contained in the book other than a blanket statement that it's not true.' PhilipRucker This is the same network that brought us the Russia Russia Russia story and bang the drum for three years. Wake up people. PhilipRucker If they are lies, then they are not classified information. PhilipRucker '...offers no proof.' Is that a surprise? I doubt anyone can find five instances of actual proof for ANYTHING he's called a lie told throughout his life.
